GUIDANCE::Query causing "Dynamic datasources not supported" error
- 2 years ago
You can have a query that uses #shared or #sections in a Dataflow Gen2, but since these are dynamic queries in order for them to not cause any issues you need to make sure that they're not set to be loaded anywhere not are they set to be staged.
What's missing today in the Power Query Online experience is the ability to see the full description and documentation of the function. We're internally tracking this gap between the legacy Power Query Desktop UI experience and the new one found in Power Query Online.
Be sure to post the idea in aka.ms/FabricIdeas to help us prioritize this gap, but the behavior that you're seeing today on how the dataflow behaves with a dynamic query like that is by design. If you have any porposals to change this by-design behavior, please be sure to suggest it in the Ideas Portal as well.
Best!
I did but what a mess that site is. If I post the code snippet or copy/paste the permalink of this post, the Ideas editor generates an error message that there is some malicious content and blocks the posting.
I finally figured out that instead of grabbing the permalink and pasting it, if you just paste the full URL as text, then no error is generated. Why can't the editor on the Ideas site behave like the forum here?
Hi Element115 ,
Apologies for the issue you are facing with editor. Each site is maintained by different teams in Microsoft, so it's difficult to tell what could be the reason for this performance. I will share this feedback with the team.
Glad that you shared your query over here. Please continue using Fabric Community for your further queries.
Hope this is helpful.
